I know of several goths that will not wear it, however; I know of several that do. A lot of goths (or individuals that identify as "goth") that I do know prefer red over black. I also know some glam rockers that enjoy black lipstick, but also are notorious for loving red even more so. Black, is a very audacious, yet daring shade, so it isn't something to wear on a normal basis or often, but was created for a reason.

I wore it for Halloween last year and although it suited the occasion it's not something I would usually wear.

It actually made my teeth look quite yellow in the photos and my teeth are not yellow... but then again it was just a crappy cheap lipstick from the fancy dress shop so maybe that had something to do with it?

So we've mentioned three groups of people who will wear it Glam Rockers (I've seen Lady Gaga - not her best look & Marilyn Manson), Models on the runways (at least this year) and Halloween. I just don't think its going to last.

@topic: I'm a dark autumn and even I can't wear black lipstick. It is definitely really not flattering on me. So unfortunately, I have to say that I really agree that black lips don't seem to suit most people, including people who normally look good in shades.

Also, I used to be a goth when I was younger and I can confirm the fact that I always greatly preferred red lipstick over black or dark purple.

I have worn black lipstick many, many years ago. But I'm not sure how I would pull that off, as far as the rest of the look. The closest I think I'll get is my darkish purply shades, like Sephora Crush or NYC Mahogany.

I have OCC lip tars and one is black. But as we all know, it's meant for tinting. I would try it out at home just to see what it looks like on me, but I would never wear it out, except for Halloween. I didn't even wear black lipstick to the Ozzy Osborne concert! I'm pale with blond hair/blue eyes. I can't tan, I insta-burn! lol I went for a bold and bright red with black smokey eyes. I agree that women of color look good/better with the black lips. The pic of the model with the bold black lips rocked it hard! But I am going to have to pass. I'll stick to tinting.
